Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry is an Action Hack and Slash game with emphasis on flashy gameplay. Originally, development was started as Resident Evil 4 but after quite a bit of work, it became apparent that the game they had created was not a Resident Evil game. The gameplay was too fast, the main character was too powerful and the atmosphere not scary enough. The game was instead rebranded as Devil May Cry with a demo disk first released as bonus to those who bought Resident Evil: Code Veronica X.

Since then, the game series has spawned three sequals, an HD Remake collection and has been recently rebooted. Since the release of the original back in May 2001, the franchise has gone on to sell nearly 13 million copies worldwide and has become the standard by which other games of the genre are judged by.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is a hack and slash video game, being the third game in the Devil May Cry series, released on February 17, 2005 in Japan originally for PlayStation 2 and then converted to Windows.The story takes place chronologically before Devil May Cry and shows the reason for the fight between the twins Dante and Vergil and how the hero became a famous demon hunter. Devil May Cry 3 was voted one of the best action games of all time and received very high grades in reviews worldwide. The game is considered by many fans the best of the series.

Devil May Cry was originally released in 2001. The game began production as Resident Evil 4 but after some time, the developers realized that the game bore little resemblance to a Resident Evil game. Instead, development was shifted to "Team Little Devils" and the game became the Hack n' Slash game Devil May Cry. Since then, the game and the franchise it started have become regarded by many as the example by which other games in the genre are compared.
